When a fan responded to the tweet and asked how Pain felt about the project, he replied, "Love it."

1 Up will follow Pain's Everything Must Go mixtape series, with Vol. 1 having dropped in Aug., and Vol. 2 two months later in Oct. Both tapes were comprised of unreleased music that the singer had sitting in the vault, and they collectively included appearances from the likes of Joey Bada$$, Ace Hood, Bow Wow, Joe Budden, MJG and more.

This will be the sixth studio album for Pain, who dropped off his OblivionLP in November 2017. That project debuted at No. 155 on the Billboard 200 upon its release.
